Over-The-Top (OTT) platforms for entertainment are immensely
popular in contemporary times. The Department of Science and
Technology (DST), Government of India, in collaboration with
Vigyan Prasar, in a much notable and visionary initiative,
launched the India Science OTT channel for promoting and
popularising scientific knowledge and awareness in 2019. It aims
to communicate the traditional and latest developments of science
and technology among the masses and, consequently, inculcate
the spirit of a scientific mindset. Another exemplary and
praiseworthy step is the introduction of an online radio channel
named ‘Vigyan Prasar Radio’ in the India Science OTT platform.
This radio channel exclusively propagates the idea and need for
sustainable development for effective management of natural
resources and improved quality of living standards. The
increasing rates of the global population, industrialisation,
urbanisation and consumption have increased the odds of
imbalance in society and nature. The present article carried out a
qualitative content analysis of the Vigyan Prasar Radio
programmes that address the concerns and opportunities for
sustainable development in the Indian context.
